Salvador's Funky House Podcast

I would normally practice this a little more but decided to push myself and go for broke so only practiced half the set and improvised the rest! You can still here some mistakes during some of the first transitions but I’m glad I did it differently and tried something new. Enjoy it as much as I did making it! Wasn’t easy.

I’ve started to use another piece of kit called traktor, more powerful and totally solves the problem about automated beat syncing. Still can’t beat match to save my life but I’m getting better! I’m so chuffed with this and it’s a good start for a first time mix using this software. Have to read through the rest of the manual to get to grips with it....Enjoy these tunes.

I don’t know if I’m doing more harm than good posting this set. I rushed this out this month as I’ve launched a new Electro Podcast and was busy recording 2 sets! Sorry! Some of these tunes proved to be difficult mixing as I tried to play this more by ear instead of practising transitions in a structured way. I’m not quite there yet! I need more practise to do an entire set properly on the fly, but it was worth a shot and I’ve come a long way. I’ll do the next set justice and make sure it’s better....in the mean time “Enjoy”....

This latest mix is undoubtedly better on the transitions and the first couple of tracks are some real smooth beats leading in to some good tunes, I even sneaked in some of those dance classics! This is the way to go and is another bench mark in this podcasts mixing! Now the Laptop is set up it’s nothing but mixing from now on. I can finally settle down and start recording mixes in a timely manner. So hopefully I will be bringing u way more funky tunes you can bop away to in the car or in your bedroom singing into a hairbrush!

This is the first mix I’ve done with the new setup i.e. Laptop. Haven’t ironed out all the problems yet so this mix leaves a lot to be desired! It’s been a while since I put uploaded a mix so I thought I’d put something on so at least then you don’t think this website is dead! I’ve got some days off so expect another much improved mix! I promise. Until then...

I managed to squeeze in another mix before the end of the year! The bass lines between tracks are more seamless and I think I’m getting the hang of it. I just haven’t found the secret yet with VDJ! I’m almost there though...

Play List
Kat deluna ft. Elephant man – Whine up (Johnny Vicious Party Mixshow Drama Remix)

Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love (Moto Blanco Radio Edit)

I’ve ditched trying to beat match perfectly on VDJ I just don’t think it has the capacity not like Ableton Live or dare I say it Vinyl! Instead I’ve gone back to concentrating on the transition and using the volumes for each channel to try and work though the ½ millisecond laps of beat. I hope you like this one. There are some good tunes here. I like this set. So as always enjoy…
